When trimming nails that are clear or light-colored, you can usually see the pinkish area known as the "quick," which you should avoid cutting. Use the Silent Pro to gently trim only the transparent section of the nail.
As you trim, look for a small black dot at the center of the nail's cross-section - this is a sign that you are approaching the quick. Stop trimming when you see this dot to ensure you do not harm your dog.
For Dogs with Dark or Black Nails:
When using the Silent Pro on dark nails, the quick isn't visible. Carefully grind small sections and observe for texture or color changes in the nail's cross-section, indicating proximity to the quick. This method prevents over-trimming and keeps your pet safe.
